Actually Jerry, I think that they (Columbus), will draw custom tubes to just about any builders request, as I suspect Reynolds & others will do. The builders on the list would know better than I... I think that "custom" is an important component of all the major tubing manufacturers businesses. I could be wrong... Cheers, Richard Rose (Toledo, Ohio)
